Viaje Honey & Hand Grenades Gets Medieval With Falchion
The line of Honey & Hand Grenades blend called the Falchion, named after a type of thin, medieval sword designed to be wielded with one hand. It went out to retailers this week.
Measuring 6 inches by 54 ring gauge, Falchion is made with a round head and a closed, pointed nipple foot intended to resemble the weapon it’s named after. It comes in two versions: Natural and Maduro. Other than the Aganorsa Leaf, the tobacco and cigar company that produces these cigars in Estelí (Honey & Hand Grenades were formerly made in Honduras). According to Farkas, these figurados were aged for one year prior to release.
The all-Nicaraguan Natural version is made with a Corojo wrapper and comes with a suggested retail price of $14.08 per cigar (the Maduro is slightly more at $14.72). Shipping in 25-count cabinets, production is limited to 500 boxes of each version for a total run of 1,000 boxes.
The Honey & Hand Grenades Falchion is part of the company’s Collector’s Edition series where blends are presented in a one-off cigar shape for collectors. Like the other sizes in the core Honey & Hand Grenades line, which debuted in 2012, Falchion adheres to the theme as all sizes are named for a cutting or stabbing implement. Falchion differs, however, with its Corojo wrapper. The original line is made with a Criollo cover leaf.
